Bike the Cbus is moving back to the Fall in 2025. This is primarily due to the fact that we had an extra Saturday in June 2024 that we don’t have in 2025 and we didn’t want to compete with the Columbus Arts Festival or the many other festivals that are held downtown during the summer. This new date is the Sunday AFTER Labor Day Weekend.

Once again, we have partnered with Land-Grant Brewing Company as our starting and ending location. There will be a great post-ride party with a wide range of activities, including food trucks and entertainment.

We will offer a 30 mile route with a shortcut for a 10 mile option, making it accessible for riders of all ages and skill levels.

All routes will be marked and Ride with GPS files will be provided a few days before the ride. Paper cue sheets will also be available. There will be leads and sweep riders to ensure no one gets lost!

Note: Riders planning to do the 30 mile route, need to be able to ride an an average pace of 10 mph. Riders who cannot maintain that pace, should plan to ride the 10 mile route option.

All participants must register online!
